Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment issued by Employment Judge Eeley sitting alone. The tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages by failing to pay a contractual bonus, and ordered payment of £1,500.00 gross.
The tribunal also found that the respondent was liable in damages for breach of contract in respect of notice, awarding £2,538.00 calculated on gross pay to reflect the likelihood of tax being payable as Post Employment Notice Pay. In addition, the tribunal found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £1,856.25 gross.
The judgment does not provide narrative reasons beyond the operative orders, consistent with Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. A notice on interest under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 was attached, recording the relevant decision day as 21 May 2024 and a stipulated rate of 8%.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
